I didn't get to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas the last two years when I worked at a movie theater.
I worked for 6 years at a restaurant on the Massachusetts Turnpike, and we were also open every single day of the year. I worked every holiday for 6 years, mostly for the double time and a 1/2.
Our movie theater didn't give us double time. Because we are a part of the "film industry" and apparently they don't have to give double time to people in the film industry. But it's not like we are the ones sitting on a movie set. It was also guaranteed that we would have to work since we always managed to be understaffed around the holiday season. The best we could hope for was a morning shift. I never got a morning shift.

Oh I didn't see the overtime/double time part. I was a server and a bartender, we didn't get overtime. We got $2.15/hour + tips. I did make $5.50/hour + tips from 2000-2006 at the Old Point Bar when I was the bartender there. We are still on old school server wages here in NOLA.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it is in Atlanta too. My first job was being a host at a restaurant, and that's how I remember the servers being paid.
I was working today with a (presumably recent) immigrant from Haiti. He didn't even know tomorrow was a holiday and the building would be closed for it. Had someone not told him (at 4 in the afternoon), he probably would have shown up for work in the morning as if it was a normal day.

Just received reviewer comments for a paper on precipitation extremes we submitted a few months ago. One of the reviewer's comments: "Precipitation with 2- and 5- year return period is not extreme precipitation". My response:

My admin is scheduled to work 7:30-4:00 every day. Due to late insomnia issues, he almost always is there when I get in at 6:00 as he states he'd rather just come in instead of sit around the most. It's getting humorous because he has began to take a nap at his desk from about 6:30 to 7:00. At one point, you shouldn't sleep at your desk. At the other, he's under no obligation to be there at that time, and he's always awake by the time his shift starts.

We think of my supervisor as being here "early" if he gets here before 10.

Same with my boss. My favorite is when she gets on everyone else for constantly being late.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I'm completely baffled by some people's ability to not shut their mouths for an entire work day. How do they not run out of things to say and why do their offices have to be right across the hall from mine?!

One of my co-workers comes in every morning, and just starts yammering. So irritating... you see me quietly "working" why would you decide to not go into your own office and sit by my desk and talk? UGH.
I started my day yesterday prying a dead cat frozen in a pool of blood from my parking lot with a snow shovel. It took like ten minutes to get it free.
I stayed warm by focusing on not passing out while barfing.

And here I was going to complain about Outlook telling me how to live my life for warning me one appointment was adjacent to another on my calendar.

I hate that. It's like, "Bitch, I am scheduling my day perfectly. Step off."
And don't even get my started on the judgy "Are you STILL watching" from Netflix...

Oh I am going to get started... Why would I even have the TV/Netflix on if I wasn't still watching? What if my remote isn't near me and I can't click it fast enough. I fucking hate that shit.

They've built their empire on binge watching! Don't act all surprised that I've just watched five consecutive episodes of Better Off Ted. The only reason you exist is so that I don't have to get up off the couch.

Exactly and I forgot about that show. I watched it when it actually aired. Didn't they cancel it right in the middle of a season?

It was a mid-season replacement that got another thirteen episodes and was cancelled with two unaired. Gone too soon.

The amount of energy I'm putting into correcting all the wrong information my manager is filling our new hire with is way more than it has any business being.

So there's literally only one other person in our building today, and of course it's the neediest person here. She's nice and super brilliant, just very very very needy and talkative.
I'm here at work with a cold, giving off a "leave me alone" vibe, but she keeps coming down here with excuses to visit.

Soooo, I work with one of my close friends, and she is definitely a workaholic and has the strictest work ethic of everyone I know.
Well we work with one other person, who is much more lax about work (which is fine, imo), and it drives my friend up a damn wall.
Today they completely blew up at each other and I'm just sitting here like Homer trying to get back in the bushes. I see both sides, and I see how their communication styles conflict, and I just have no idea what to do about the situation. I also hate conflict and avoid it like the plague.
I suggested to my friend that she cool down and talk to our "supervisor" (just one of our researchers, who doesn't really supervise us). I suggested to the other person that maybe they need separate work spaces (we all share about 50 ft of space)
